I find it very hard to believe that you can hear Lukas play Texas Flood and question his talent. The crowd was very enthusiastic during his exciting set.If his last name wasn't Nelson you wouldn't have even questioned why he was there.On a whole other note, Lukas is more educated on Farm Aid than any other young performer.He can actually answer questions intelligently on the subject and I suspect will one day be on the board.

Thought he was good and has alot of promise for only 21.Not wild about his voice but him and his band could rock.Probably got his talent from Willie but intersting his musicis more bluesy and really not like his dad's at all.He is sililarto Vaughn and Shepherd.
